Nian Shilan's words made Chao Gui a little puzzled.
Nian Shilan finally rose from the position of concubine to queen, and now she is the queen mother. How could she not want her son to be the emperor?
"Although the throne is admired, but you were born in the royal family, and you know how many things you have no control over."
Nian Shilan looked at Chao Gui and said with a wry smile: "It's okay for the Ai family to be trapped in this huge Forbidden City for the rest of their lives. I don't want my children to have to suffer here for the rest of their lives."
When Chao Gui heard Nian Shilan's words, he suddenly thought of himself. Although he didn't fully understand it, he could empathize with it.
Being born into a royal family, there are really too many helplessness.
"Then who do you want to establish??"
"The qualifications of the third elder brother are really mediocre, and the other elder brothers are all underage. Otherwise, it would be the elder brother Xi."
Nian Shilan paused and said, "Moreover, this is also the late emperor's last wish."
Chao Gui did not expect that Nian Shilan actually wanted to establish a heir apparent according to the emperor's brother's last wish.
"Aren't you afraid that Brother Huang has plans for Brother Xi?"
"Won't."
Nian Shilan said with certainty: "Xi'age grew up in the Old Summer Palace, and the emperor had no feelings for him. After returning to the palace, he was raised in Chengqian Palace. Even if he had feelings, they were all for Concubine Xi. .”
"Now that you've thought about it, what do you need me to do?"
When Chao Gui saw that Nian Shilan had made up his mind, he stopped trying to persuade her.
"If you think it's okay, then you can go to court with the Ai family tomorrow morning."
Nian Shilan's meaning is also very obvious, that is, if he speaks alone, he may not be able to convince the public.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
After Princess Chaogui finished speaking, she went back.
Now that the matter has been settled, there are some things that we need to discuss with the new emperor.
"Go and bring Concubine Xi and Brother Xi over."
"yes."
Songzhi listened to Nian Shilan's words and arranged for someone to deliver the order.
When Zhen Huan heard that Nian Shilan had told her to go with Brother Xi, she felt somewhat prepared.
Of course, Hongli himself also had some vague expectations in his heart.
When Nian Shilan saw the two coming, he sent everyone out.
"The Ai family sent you a message today. I think you understand why."
Nian Shilan did not go around in circles and said first: "Now that the throne is vacant, I thought that Brother Xi is the most suitable candidate, so I sent you here to hear what you mean."
Zhen Huan listened to Nian Shilan's words without speaking, but looked at Brother Xi.
"My son will definitely live up to the Queen's expectations."
His reaction was quite quick.
Nian Shilan smiled after listening to his words.
"However, the Ai family still has requirements."
"Son, please follow the orders of the emperor."
Nian Shilan looked at Brother Xi's appearance and glanced at Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan's face was calm.
"After you ascended the throne, you included Eighth Prince in the Heheli clan. He was no longer a prince, but a heir apparent."
This is why Nian Shilan called Brother Xi over alone.
"In addition, Shu Yue and Minghui, the Ai family couldn't bear them leaving their side, so they wanted to find a match for each of them in the Hesheli family and the Nian family."
Although Shu Yue and Minghui are still young, Nian Shilan still doesn't want them to embark on the road of marriage.
Brother Xia thought Nian Shilan was going to ask for something, but this was completely achievable.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, my son will do it."
Nian Shilan nodded, then looked at Zhen Huan and said: "From now on, the Ai family will be the Queen Mother, and your mother-in-law will be the Queen Mother. This is the first imperial edict after you ascend the throne. Don't worry. , Nian and Hesheli will all be your backers."
"Son, thank you, Queen Mother."
The matter was settled just like that.
On the morning of the second day, when Nian Shilan and Chao Gei appeared in the court hall, there was naturally a lot of doubt.
